Elasticsearch is open source, again 2 years ago
It feels like Elastic got burnt with the license change, their stock is down 40% since they announced the fork, and they are starting to realize that being open source is important. I don't think AWS would abandon the fork given the amount of efforts they put in, they cannot walk back and re-brand their products.
It's sad to see elastic turning sides for their benefit, and as a contributor I feel betrayed. While OpenSearch on the flip side is more contributor friendly. I honestly feel all energies should be focused on one product to make it better instead of walking in different paths. Amazon has already taken that path and I don't think they will ever walk back, unlike Elastic.
